Flaming Gorge

So, last Wednesday-Saturday (July 28th-31st) I went on a camp out with the teachers and priests of my ward, to Flaming Gorge dam and reservoir. It was pretty freakin' sweet, haha.

So, Wednesday (haha, I spells it 'Wed-nes-day') we left around 12:30 (Well met then, we left about 12:45) for Flaming Gorge. It was a long drive. We got there about 6 or so. We set up camp, and just sat around for the rest of the day.

So, Thursday we got up, had some food, then rented some rafts. That's right! WE WENT RIVER RAFTING DOWN ZE GREEN RIVER! It was awesome. Though, so stuff did happen. On the first trip, we had water fights and such, and that was fun, but, Brother Field got wacked in the head with a paddle and had a concussion, not good. I went in the river a bit, and it was cold cold cold. And my watch broke that trip, so, my only source of time is my phone now :/ but, maybe now I can reach my goal of loosing my watch line, huh? So, it also rained that trip. Second trip, one boat fished, other one relaxed, my boat.... we had a mutiny. We threw each other off, and it was good. I wasn't thrown off then, I jumped off. Haha, good times. I did a front flip off of it, kinda, and it was fun, but, the water was cold there. So, yeah, we went back, had food, and life was good.

So, Friday we went on the Dam tour. (Haha, we cracked dam jokes a lot :D) The Dam tour (}:) ) was pretty cool, the dam was pretty big, and the dam fish where big too (:P) They where big ol' trout that just swam right next to the dam and waited for tourists to feed them, not fun. Then, we did one of the best things. We went cliff jumping in to Flaming Gorge Reservoir. I'm afraid of heights pretty badly, so, I wasn't too sure how fun it would be. I thoroughly enjoyed it though. I mostly jumped off a 10 foot cliff, a couple times a 15 foot cliff, and three times a 20-25 (?) foot cliff (yikes) but, it was fun.

So, Saturday, we packed up (my tent was up before the leaders! WOW!) and we left. We stopped for food on the way home (YAYS!) and then continued home. I got home about 3:01 and was tired, and it was pouring rain. I mean POURING! Then, my family and I went to see Shrek 4. It was better than I thought it would be, but, I was pretty tired so, I was out of it. Oh yeah, I took like 3 different (shortish) naps in the car on the way home, glad I put my pillow in the car! So, all in all, it was a great trip, and I look forward to next year. Thanks to all those who where there who helped make it great! (THAT MEANS EVERYONE THAT ATTENDED!)
